Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

Fully permitted, shovel-ready development site approved for the construction of two brand-new three-story, two-unit residential buildings. The project covers two adjacent record lots totaling approximately 2,253 square feet, with permits issued for the razing of an existing 1951 brick structure and an adjacent vacant lot. Construction permits for the two new buildings are in hand, and a qualified contractor or developer can break ground without delay. Plans call for two two-family flats, producing four total residential units across the two lots.

Each building is designed as a two-family flat and rises to 35 feet on its respective lot, with approximately 2,700 square feet of finished space per building across a lower level apartment, as well as first, second, and third floors. All plans, permits, and raze approvals convey with the sale.

The site is positioned just behind Eastern Market and convenient to Library of Congress, Barracks Row restaurants, public parks, and the Capitol. Eastern Market Metro station (Blue, Orange, Silver lines) is approximately an 11-minute walk. TransitScore is 70 (Excellent Transit) with bikeScore 87 (Very Bikeable) and walkScore 94 (Walker’s Paradise).
